Hi jinx4, thanks for the word! These ones are a bit bigger than A3, 500mm wide by about 300mm deep. I use pencils to sketch out and then fill in with gouache, details with silver and gold ink, Indian ink, Rotring tech pens, Sharpie and a bit of collage. the fish eye is a bit accidental, I just start sketching details that I dig about each bike, the lugs, headset, get all freestyle with the handlebars, finish the frame, spend a while on the drivetrain, then try to make the wheels fit into what space is left. I struggle with trying to be all technical and tight, while trying to be free and loose at the same time. Bit like riding in traffic (Sydney). These have all been project bikes and started off as something to do when I'm waiting for parts to arrive via eBay or payday for funds to finish them. It also helps me visualise the final bike and how I want it to turn out. I'm trying to work towards enough pieces (and bikes?) for an exhibition. I'm wanting to do some portraits of some skaters next. I obviously don't get a chance to talk about this stuff much because when I get an opportunity I start rabbiting on. Sorry!
